It’s impossible not to know Jason Kelce if you’re an NFL enthusiast. The Eagles’ center has made himself a name over the years of his football career. However, his goodbye to the sport is here, especially with the latest announcement about the center’s plans. So, while everyone is thinking about his retirement news, let’s take a look at how and why everyone is a fan of Jason Kelce. We’ll try not to make you miss him more on the field!
Eagles’ Center Jason Kelce And Why Is He A Fan-Favorite
January 16 marks Jason Kelce’s last game in his career, and everyone indeed was not ready for it. After 13 years in the league, the Eagles’ center made his last hurrah on the field with tears, and with the whole of Philadelphia crying with him. With many years on the football field, Jason Kelce earned a legion of fans with the excellent player and person he is — on and off the field.
It’s easy to root against the Eagles but impossible to root against Jason Kelce.
Awesome dude and future hall of famer. 🫡

If you wonder why the footballer is loved by many people, we have three reasons for you. What a legend he is in the NFL and the Eagles’ history; and if you have any reasons why you think Eagles’ number 62 is a fan-favorite, share them with us in the comments below.
1) Jason Kelce is THE player.
Who cares about a gameday fit when all he likes is to play football? Even in a simple answer, it’s obvious how much Jason Kelce treasures the sport and his team. But, of course, how he was in tears during his last NFL game was enough proof of how the center loved the sport, while the fans who loved him will be the evidence of how great of a player he is.

@eilishmorrison Gotta feel for the big guy! Tough to see if this is how it ends ! #philadelphiaeagles #jasonkelce #nflplayoffs #nflfootball
Kelce earned so much respect from NFL fans and viewers with his passion for football. He became an icon during the first Super Bowl win of the Eagles way back in 2018, and in his 13 seasons, the center played numerous Pro Bowls as well. And indeed, the heart and soul of the Philadelphia Eagles. Truly, the fans will miss his coolness and his ‘beer moments’ in the NFL.

2) Jason Kelce is a great man outside the field.
For the uninitiated, Jason is 36 years old and has a family, a wife and two daughters. The G.O.A.T. himself is slowly opening the world of football to his daughters, and who knows, we’ll probably see them on the field when the time comes. Another Kelce in the sport would be a pretty impressive sight.

Even after games, his family is always there for him. This time around, we can probably see Jason Kelce with his family more, after this surprise retirement news. A team player and a family guy, what is not to love about the Eagles player?
@nfl left it all on the field 💚 #jasonkelce #philadelphia #eagles #nfl #nflplayoffs
3) Jason Kelce is Jason Kelce.
More than anything else, he is himself, which easily made everyone a fan of him. As a pro football player, a teammate, a family-centered guy, and a person, Jason Kelce remained his true self through the years when people admired him. Social media users have been flooded to share their appreciation and admiration for the Eagles’ number 62.
I am not an Eagles in any way, but I can’t help but feel sad for Jason Kelce when I see this video. I’m forever a Jason Kelce fan, the day that he’s no longer in the league will be a tough one 😔💔 pic.twitter.com/ebubPzMhgk

The Hall of Fame awaits Kelce, and many fans agree with this, too. His career will always be one for the history books and Jason Kelce will be cemented as one of the legends of football. And who would have thought that a Jason Kelce x Taylor Swift song would be one of the tearjerker moments for the fans? Watch it below.
Thank you to Jason Kelce for probably one of my favorite days at work ever. Legend. 🍻 pic.twitter.com/Rkj3o6b1tv

Every fan has yet to wait for Jason Kelce’s announcement himself. As almost everyone on social media says, he is a G.O.A.T., the best center in the NFL, and a legend in his entire career. Fans would have wished to watch him play longer, but honestly, it was an honor to have seen him on the field for over a decade.
